On August night, the night is very light, the full moon rises into the sky, and the bright moonlight shines, making it possible to see the road clearly under the night cover. On the official road, piles of bonfires were burning, and the firewood crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness.
By the campfire, many soldiers were sitting.
The soldier's expression was miserable and solemn, with a touch of fear and uneasiness.
Gu Kang and Qu Jin were alone at a campfire. The two of them ran all the way back and didn't even eat dinner. Now they were hungry, their bodies were very tired, and their faces were quite pale. Now far away from the place of fighting, Gu Kang even left a sentry behind to make sure there were no pursuers behind him before stopping to rest.
Gu Kang looked at Qu Jin and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qu, our losses this time are too great. The more than 20,000 troops in Lujiang County can be said to be completely ruined. There are less than two or three hundred people around us. Even if we return to Lujiang County, it will not be easy to resist Wang Qi's attack."
Qu Jin stroked his beard under his chin and said with a sad look on his face: "Actually, there is still some chance of resisting Wang Qi alone, relying on the prefect's influence among the people. The biggest problem is the death of Xiong Tai, which is the most difficult. "
Gu Kang said: "That's true."
When he thought about Xiong Tai, Gu Kang felt extremely bad and irritable.
What does Xiong Tai do to fight?
Not only did he not win, he was killed instead.
Gu Kang was silent for a long time and said, "Mr. Qu, what do you think I should do about the current situation?"
Qu Jin said: "I am also thinking about retreating along the way. Under the current circumstances, the prefect has three options."
Gu Kang said: "Sir, please explain in detail."
Qu Jin said: "The first option is to truthfully report the news to the Chu State, tell the King of Chu about Xiong Tai's death, and tell the King of Chu that you will definitely defend Lujiang County. In addition, regarding the death of Xiong Tai, even if Xiong Tai seeks his own death, sir, you must also take the initiative to confess that you underestimated the enemy, and that you have been disadvantaged in protecting Xiong Tai. Please punish the king of Chu. No matter what, we will talk about it after you apologize."
Gu Kang shook his head.
Taking the initiative to plead guilty is tantamount to putting your life and death in the hands of the King of Chu.
Xiong Tai has a great influence in Chu State and is considered by many people to be the future successor of Chu State. However, Xiong Tai died like this. The King of Chu now took into account the importance of Lujiang County and did not deal with him, but what about the future?
??Won¡¯t the people from Xiong Tai¡¯s group deal with him?
There are too many questions.
Seeing Gu Kang's expression, Qu Jin knew that Gu Kang had no choice and continued: "The second option is for you to ignore Xiong Tai's death and arrange for someone to sneak into Xiangyang and take his family to Lujiang County. Then, you can do your best Resist Wang Qi and defend Lujiang County."
Gu Kang said in a deep voice: "Doing this is tantamount to dissatisfying both sides and offending Wang Qi and King Chu at the same time."
Qu Jin said: "It is true that both sides are unhappy, but only in this case can we ensure our own safety. In addition, if the King of Chu attacks you, then you will submit to Wang Qi. If Wang Qi wants to attack you, you will submit to the King of Chu." In short, neither the King of Chu nor Wang Qi will allow you to submit to the other side, giving you a chance to remain neutral. This is a deviant approach."
¡°It¡¯s inappropriate, it¡¯s inappropriate!¡±
Gu Kang shook his head hurriedly.
Qu Jin said: "My lord is worried that both sides will be displeased, and when the time comes, you actually have no choice at all. No matter which side you submit to, you have no choice, right?"
Gu Kang said: "That's what I mean. How can I join one side when I offend both sides? In fact, such an idea is simply impossible."
Qu Jin said: "The third option is to surrender to Wang Qi. After you surrender to Wang Qi, you can use Wang Qi's power to bring your family back. Chu State is going to attack, and it doesn't matter if Wang Qi is here."
Gu Kang frowned after hearing this.
Return to Wang Qi?
What kind of choice is this?
Gu Kang still liked the days before. He was sitting in Lujiang County, and his life was relaxed and leisurely. But now, everything has become difficult and even into a difficult situation.
"Report!"
At this moment, a sentinel suddenly came running from behind.
The sentinels are arranged by Gu Kang to be on guard around them to ensure their own safety at all times.
The sentry came to Gu Kang's side, with a nervous expression, and reported: "Sir, there are pursuers from behind, coming towards us. Because there is darkness and our people have horses, we can come back first. The other party and us The distance should not be far away."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?His face suddenly changed.
The situation is not good!
Gu Kang ordered the sentry to continue investigating, then looked at Qu Jin and said, "Sir, of the three options you mentioned, which one do you think is the most appropriate?"
Qu Jin thought for a while and said: "Sir, if you want to choose, it can only be the third option. If Xiong Tai is not dead, you can go to Chu State. It's great that you don't want the foundation of Lujiang County. But if Xiong Tai is dead, you can't go to Chu State. , so surrendering to Wang Qi is the most appropriate choice."
Gu Kang suddenly fell silent.
Surrender?
This battle was really frustrating to the extreme.
Qu Jin continued: "Sir, time is running out and we must make a decision immediately. In fact, Wang Qi is now sending people to chase him and chase him fiercely. It is difficult for us to escape. Even if we escape, we must do our best to obey fate and do our best. That¡¯s all I can do.¡±
"well¡¡"
Gu Kang sighed completely.
"It's down!"
Gu Kang didn¡¯t hesitate much because he had no choice but to surrender. No matter how much he missed the old days, at the moment, he had no choice.
Qu Jin said: "My lord, now that the matter has come to this, you have one more thing to consider. Even if you surrender, you must let Wang Qi arrange people to bring your family back first. This is fundamental."
Gu Kang nodded and said no more.
He waited quietly.
"Da da da!!!"
It didn¡¯t take long before the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard. Not long after, the rapid sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the ground seemed to tremble under the trampling of horse hooves.
The sound is getting louder and louder.
The distance is getting closer and closer.
Gu Kang¡¯s face became serious, but he never moved from beginning to end. Even though the soldiers under his command stood up, they were stopped by Gu Kang and did not need to take action.
It didn¡¯t take long, and a group of cavalry had already caught up.
Wang Qi arrived with his troops, and he took the lead, so as soon as the troops arrived, they saw Gu Kang.
Wang Qi saw that all the people under Gu Kang's command were standing, but they did not take action or escape. In a flash, he realized that Gu Kang was afraid that he knew that he could not evacuate, so he did not escape.
Wang Qi led people around him, and his eyes fell on Gu Kang, who had already stood up.
Gu Kang took the initiative and said: "King Qi, I am willing to surrender. However, I have a condition. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will surrender. Otherwise, I would rather die than surrender to you."
Wang Qidao: "Tell me about it!"
Gu Kang said in a deep voice: "Although I serve as the governor of Lujiang County, I am from the Chu State and was supported by the Chu State. My family is still in the Chu State. If you arrange for someone to bring my family back, I will I promise to submit to you."
Wang Qi flicked his sleeves and promised: "I agree to your conditions, and promise to bring them back completely. I will write it down and arrange for people to move within the Chu Kingdom to bring your family back. However, During this period, the news about Xiong Tai must be blocked. After all, he is the third prince of Chu. Once the news reaches Xiangyang and it involves you, it will be difficult for your family to take him away. "
Gu Kang¡¯s eyes widened with an incredulous look and he said, ¡°King Qi actually knows Xiong Tai¡¯s identity?¡±
Wang Qi smiled and explained: "Ye Li has surrendered at Xilin Ferry. As well as the soldiers under your command, there is no way to escape. Everyone, please surrender."
Gu Kang sighed and said, "As expected, Mr. Qu guessed that there is a problem at the ferry."
Wang Qidao: "Speaking of this music director, who is Qu Jin?"
"That's it!"
Qu Jin stepped forward and bowed.
Wang Qi looked at Qu Jin. He knew from Ye Li's previous words that Qu Jin had concluded that there might be an ambush at the ferry. This incident alone shows Qu Jin's ability. Furthermore, Gu Kang's ability to manage Lujiang County well was inseparable from Qu Jin's assistance.
This is a capable person.
Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qu, are you willing to serve me?"
Qu Jin was stunned.
Wang Qi recruited him directly?
Gu Kang, who was standing, was also a little surprised. Wang Qidu had not really recruited him yet, but only accepted his surrender, but he directly recruited Qu Jin, which was so surprising.
